Android O will arrive in just a few months and many applications are preparing for the new version of Google's operating system. Google Chrome, for example, just added tablet and phone support for the feature Android O picture-in-picture that would allow us play a video at the same time we use any other app.
The function was available on Android TV since the arrival of Android Nougat but now Google Chrome has already added it to more devices and can be used from any phone or tablet, thinking about the arrival of Android O. It is not the only app that already includes this support. Others like VLC, Duo or Play Movies they have already taken the step.
Its use is very simple. When the phone or tablet already has Android O installed and we are watching any video in full screen from the Chrome application, we will have to press the "Recents" button for a couple of times, they explain from Android Police. Once you do, the screen of the video we were watching will appear as a thumbnail on our screen.to while we open any other application.
The PiP tool is one of the most anticipated that would come with the new version of Android O, which would allow us to play videos from any application while using any other, which would make us not stop watching a video clip, a series or a tutorial while using the calendar, we check our email or reply to a WhatsApp message.
It can also be done from YouTube after the release of the second version “preview” of Android O for developers. To do this, it will be enough to start the YouTube application, find the video we want to see, select the start button and the screen will shrink in size. Once the player is smaller, you can move it around the screen as it suits you, pause it, replay it or skip to the next video if you have created a playlist. At any time you can tap on the video and return to the full YouTube app.
A very useful function that would come with the new operating system update. Android O has no release date yet but some rumorss They talk that it could arrive in August. Google usually releases versions of its operating system in early fall or late summer. He did so with Marshmallow and Nougat. The latter arrived on August 22 and it seems that Android O would follow in its footsteps and would arrive, according to rumors, between the first or second week of that month.
